Prof. Howard Seeman, Ph.D. introduces Handling the Last Downhill of the Roller Coaster: The Emotional Challenges of Aging, a life-changing guide for seniors and their families
New York, USA — As the holidays approach, families prepare for reunions, shared meals, and heartfelt conversations. Yet beneath the warmth of togetherness, many adult children quietly wonder: How can I better support my aging parents?
In his newest book, Handling the Last Downhill of the Roller Coaster: The Emotional Challenges of Aging, Prof. Howard Seeman, Ph.D. offers the answer, a compassionate, psychologically rich, and deeply practical guide to understanding the inner world of aging.
This book is not just for seniors themselves; it is also for their children, caregivers, and loved ones who wish to help them face the emotional realities of growing older with empathy and confidence.
A Lifeline for Seniors and a Bridge for Families
Written by Prof. Howard Seeman, Ph.D., a Professor Emeritus, Certified Life-Coach, and cancer survivor with over 50 years of experience in emotional education, the book explores how aging affects both mind and heart, and how families can stay connected through it all.
Through moving stories, poetry, and real-life insights, Prof. Seeman addresses the most profound emotional hurdles of elderhood:
- The fear of dying and the anxiety of loneliness
- Loss of self-worth, physical strength, and loved ones
- The quiet grief of watching a partner decline through dementia
- The struggle to maintain purpose and meaning in later life
Yet, the book also shines with hope, offering guidance on forming and maintaining close relationships, building emotional resilience, and learning to age not just longer, but better.
For Children of Aging Parents: A Thoughtful Way to Help
Many adult children find it difficult to start conversations about aging. This book provides an ideal way to begin. By reading it themselves and sharing a copy with their parents, families can open meaningful dialogue about emotional well-being, grief, and staying connected through change.
“If you’ve ever felt helpless watching your parents grow older, this book gives you a voice, a vocabulary, and a way forward,” says Seeman.
It is a rare, heartfelt resource that brings generations together and helps both sides of the table understand each other a little more deeply.
The Perfect Holiday Gift for the Soul
As Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and the New Year approach, Handling the Last Downhill of the Roller Coaster makes a thoughtful and comforting gift.
Whether given to a parent, a grandparent, or an adult child caring for one, this book is a gesture of love, an invitation to talk, reflect, and heal together.
“It’s not just a book; it’s a bridge between generations,” says one reviewer.
This holiday season, give a gift that truly matters — one that helps your loved ones age with understanding, dignity, and emotional strength.
Because the best present is not under the tree; it is the connection we rebuild with the people who raised us.
